I am finally getting into some research. It looks like for now I am making a move into some economic history. I'll be examining the effects of New Deal spending on infant mortality rates. This should be a good topic and I am able to take advantage of the fantastic and fantasically large dataset that my advisor, Professor Fishback has been collecting for the last eight years. Now my chore is to learn how to use Stata and to hone my econometric skills because all women like guys who have skills and what better line to hook a girl than, "Did you know that the AAA actually increased infant mortality rates among farmers?"
